Ahmm, Linux (just like UNIX) doesn't have folders, it has directories. As far as characters in file and directory names go: dunno about Linux, but in UNIX the name of a file (any file, be it a regular file, a directory, a symlink, a block or character device node or a socket) may be up to 255 characters in length and may contain ANY 7-bit ASCII characters except NUL and '/'. Permissions have absolutely nothing to do with it: the name and the permission bits are completely orthogonal. Furthermore, the permission bits are part of the i-node and there may be more than one filename (in the same or in different directories) referring to the same i-node. MS
